The DVGW network, with its expertise in drinking water and hydrogen, is a conceptual partner of the world's leading trade fair for environmental technologies.
Future-oriented technologies and customised solutions for water, recycling and circularity
Shaping the future together: climate change, infrastructure, and security of supply — act now!
The energy and water industry is at the heart of the greatest challenges of our time. Climate change, increasing extreme weather events, and aging infrastructure require new solutions, new partnerships, and a clear political framework.
Let's make a difference together for the energy and water supply of the future – reliable, sustainable, and adaptable.
Be part of it – help shape the future!
Our DVGW Welcome Lounge brings together decision-makers from business, technology, and politics to develop concrete ways to build a climate-resilient and sustainable infrastructure.
You can look forward to exciting discussions and intensive exchanges with leading minds from the industry—practical and solution-oriented.
Solutions straight from the horse's mouth! First, you will learn everything about the current challenges facing the German water industry in a keynote speech. Afterwards, you will accompany us to the solution providers on site.
How do we tackle the challenges of climate change, cybercrime, and aging infrastructure? What solutions are already available today – and who is driving them forward?
